Combo damage change is almost insignificant, I'd take the lower DR every time. Shotguns and high ROF weapons should benefit especially. I'd take DR path also, but I can't be arsed to change my SP difficulty for this. |

All melee are aoe. And most can hit targets to the side and some even behind you, though some have more generous hitboxes than others. Krogan headbutt has the largest aoe, and remnant cryo gauntlet the smallest.
Melee has a "bullet" and can score headshots if this hits, but the path of the bullet is fixed, and can not be aimed vertically, meaning the enemy has to be in the way of the hit. the bullet leaves a shot marker on walls and floors where the sweet spot is, and the aoe surrounds this.
For most melee's (omni, biotic punch, and derivatives) this shot is at around abdomen level and travels straight forward parallel to the ground. Adhis and wraiths can be hit in their crit zone while jumping, and humanoids while they crouch in cover.
The Krogan hammer is unique in that the bullet starts above your head and travels down towards the ground, allowing you to easily hit weakpoints on most enemies if you are standing at the proper distance, but the slight forward movement makes lining up tricky.
I am not sure where the "shot" is for the asari sword. And I can't provide super detailed notes, as I am on xbox, and am relying on less precise testing methods than pc has available. I don't know whether the melee headshots do more damage than normal, or whether they have varying modifiers.
Edit. Also the krogan hammer has some hitbox oddities with pull, and it seams like you can hit distant held targets so long as you maintain line of sight and the proper hold animation starts, if there is a second hitbox originating at pulled targets this would explain the multiple hit instances. I have hit targets more than 10m distant from me with melee while dragging them towards myself, when they should have been out of range.

EDIT: Just saw misguidedworm7 's post. Will record hit box tests with KGlad now. EDIT 2: streamable.com/x8zwl Can you confirm the third hit is what you consider a "headshot"? If so, it receives no bonuses on KGlad. EDIT 3: streamable.com/giwyl Pull + Melee Range test: appears to be ~12m as stated. imgur.com/a/JWAma for 10m reference.

Yes the third hit looks right. It is harder to tell when the enemy survives, it will destroy the head completely on headshot death, but not normally. Headshots on other melees are much harder to get because of the specific positioning. and the headshot path can be seen on walls when it connects and leaves a marker. |

Stealth Grid Base Tests-Stealth Grid base bonus duration seems to be about 0.5s, similar to base Tactical Cloak. 1. Does fully-auto weapons have the 2 seconds delay like on Tactical Cloak? (like it does on your tests with TC) 2. Is Avenger Strike bugged with Stealth Grid? (I suppose it is) Weapons only had ~500ms of bonus time with base Tactical Cloak. It is 2s if you get Combat Cloak. I was using the Huntress to test Grid. |

Turns out the semi-auto vs full-auto difference has been debunked, sorry for asking, I didn't saw it when it was posted. Would it be fair to assume anything "started" within 0.5 second gets the bonus? According to your tests, it looks like you were able to fit 2 extremely fast powers to cast and get the bonus for both. Same for Melee with omni-blades. Am I wrong to assume the rule could be as long as it starts in the first 0.5 second you're good? edit: I would like to ask if the projectile travel time matters or not? I mean, Lance or Throw work alright, but what happen if Throw's impact is more than 0.5 second after breaking cloak? Does the bonus still applies? |

I mean, Lance or Throw work alright, but what happen if Throw's impact is more than 0.5 second after breaking cloak? Does the bonus still applies? To be completely honest, I am not entirely sure what the rules are since they don't seem entirely consistent across the attack type, or TacCloak v Grid. For the most part what we can say is that for base TacCloak and base Stealth Grid the attack type that breaks cloak will get a bonus, and that bonus last for some sort of duration. For weapons it was 0.5s for both. For melee, it seemed like Cloak must have lasted longer than Grid since I could get in 2 melee, but 1 with SG. Incinerate getting 3 DOT ticks lasts however long it lasts it seems, but is always just impact+3 ticks as far as I can see. With respect to travel times, I am assuming projectile travel time isn't as important as when the power is cast... although this doesn't really completely fit unless you say the collision damage from throw isn't "cast" until the target hits something, and the DOT from Incinerate seems to work more based on tick count than time. |

Oh and need to qualify the above since Avenger Strike doesn't get bonus when breaking Stealth Grid, although the next qualifying attack type does. Avenger Strike Basic Tests-Avenger Strike does not benefit from Stealth Grid bonus, as was suspected by community. -Avenger Strike can get weak point hits, with 1.15x multiplier observed vs Assembler and Nullifier (likely 1.4x base). -Avenger Strike multiplier to shields and armor is 1x. -If breaking Stealth Grid with Avenger Strike, attacking with weapon or melee will give stealth bonus to the weapon or melee for duration consistent with previous Stealth Grid tests. -Did not appear possible to give Stealth Grid bonus to Sticky Grenade by breaking Stealth Grid with Avenger Strike, or weapons fire. -Sticky Grenade impact weak point bonus observed to be 1.15x vs Nullifier. -Did not observe any weak point bonus melees using Angara Avenger's basic melee against Assembler or Nullifier. *** Avenger (no passive)

(SR receiver 1) +48 % penetration damage add on. Is actually a multiplier to the base damage of shots that went trough cover (tested) or other enemies (not tested yet).
viper 4 356 base ;
409.400 // 356 * (1 + 0.05 + 0.1) = 409.4
196.512 // through obstacle 356 * 0.48 * (1 + 0.05 + 0.1) = 196.512
587.400 // +cloak 356 * (1 + 0.05 + 0.1 + 0.5) = 587.4
281.952 // same + obstacle 356 * 0.48 * (1 + 0.05 + 0.1 + 0.5) =281.952
/////////////////////////////////////
some more damage reduction tests on asari sentinel tutorial
dash FORGOT // sprint *1 // HOVER *1
hit without player DR 26.786
18.473 // Tech Armor 26.786 * (1 / (1 + 0.45)) = 18.473 OK
13.195 // TA + cover 26.786 * (1 / (1 + 0.45 + 0.4)) = 14.4789 WRONG ?? RETEST ?
26.786 / ((1 + 0.4) * (1 + 0.45)) =13.1950 OK MAKES SENSE BUT DIFFERENT FORMULA
12.175 // TA + backslash // 26.786 * (1 / (1 + 0.45 + 0.75)) = 12.1754 OK
So the player DR formula is a bit more alembicated than originally thought .

I mean with the teleport it is always the same animation. The enemy stands up, you appear behind him/her and then you strike. Maybe capn233 can tell us how he did it. |

I suspect the hitbox is similar to melee that it is roughly torso height, meaning it will not hit high enough to strike heads. Assemblers, dogs, and nullifiers have lower set weak-points, and nullifiers in particular have their weakpoints on their back, meaning the strike naturally lines up with it more often than not |

Oh and need to qualify the above since Avenger Strike doesn't get bonus when breaking Stealth Grid, although the next qualifying attack type does. Avenger Strike Basic Tests-Avenger Strike does not benefit from Stealth Grid bonus, as was suspected by community. -Avenger Strike can get weak point hits, with 1.15x multiplier observed vs Assembler and Nullifier (likely 1.4x base). -Avenger Strike multiplier to shields and armor is 1x. -If breaking Stealth Grid with Avenger Strike, attacking with weapon or melee will give stealth bonus to the weapon or melee for duration consistent with previous Stealth Grid tests. -Did not appear possible to give Stealth Grid bonus to Sticky Grenade by breaking Stealth Grid with Avenger Strike, or weapons fire. -Sticky Grenade impact weak point bonus observed to be 1.15x vs Nullifier. -Did not observe any weak point bonus melees using Angara Avenger's basic melee against Assembler or Nullifier.
Does Avenger Strike benefits from the melee increase passives (like the 50% melee increase of rank 5A of Bioelectric Defense, for instance)? |

FYI, I followed a Reddit trail of breadcrumbs to another source of game-file readouts for weapons stats, from the same group that broke the "SP determines MP" story on the community.
This enabled me to get reload times, weapon damage, force per shot (or is it per projectile? - idk), and to figure out burst weapon max DPS, based on the effective RoF, from the listed RoF + re-fire delay timer. I used the updated weak point multipliers from uBSN (http://bsn.boards.net/thread/9439/numerical-damage-tests), and assumed 1.4 for all that have not yet been tested, as that's not a weapon stat they uncovered in the game files. Also, lots of weight corrections.
On burst weapons, the bad news is that given the cooldown timer mechanic, no burst-fire weapon gets more than 2 bursts/second max, period and you'll see that reflected in the Max DPS numbers. The fact is that Valkyrie, (the rarest bust weapon, I believe) is terrible such that you'd almost be better off using the Avenger. So that's the state of burst weapons in the game.
Also, I believe the accuracy numbers (not just the UI accuracy I've listed, but min & max, etc.) explain why the Equalizer gets so much love. It has decent DPS (nothing amazing, but very solid), but the Equalizer can be very effective at close and medium range because it has literally the best aim numbers of all pistols with almost no recoil, and so you are much more likely to get close to the Max DPS listed on my spreadsheet compared with other pistols when actually in-game. It looks OK by bottom line damage numbers, but it looks great when you factor in the real in-game impact of aim and hit likelihood, especially weakpoint hit likelihood, compared to other solid rapid-fire option pistols. If you always play CC, then there are better options, but Equalizer starts to make sense for anyone wanting decent DPS+full auto+High DPC+accurate at middle range. I think it will look even better when I do some average DPS for sustained fire calculations, because DPC gets huge and reload times are pretty long.
I will be adding various calculations over several days, such as full-ammo average dps, now that I have reload numbers, and full-clip average DPS.
Does anyone know the significance of force in this game? Ragdoll cutoff level, or anything? I think ME3, the target for powers was 1000 force, because that was min to stun armored chars?
TL;DR - go to the OP ITT, to find updated weapons stat sheets and before you ask I'm working on figuring out how to freeze left columns and top row, but I may have to switch from Publishing as webpage to Gdocs read-only and then the link will need to be updated. Feedback/corrections welcome!

Just from memory, it seems as though some melees + Lance can stagger mooks, and the likes of Throw will stagger mid level enemies like Saboteurs, Anarchists, Anointed, etc. No numerical tests I've done but may be a good starting point.
Also forgot to say, that depending on what the enemies are doing, it appears as if they have iframes and some staggers may be lost.

We (lennybusker and srkm00b and hello isaak) broke that story . Yeah (well played, btw!!!), this was ultimately where I followed Hello_Isaac to: www.reddit.com/r/MECoOp/comments/69iles/all_multiplayer_weapon_stats_for_all_current_and/The spreadsheet I used (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1t-1sfl-IPyu1zOfvlyHTxzuUjNTB5lm_10OLNfa_CD8/edit#gid=1849621649) was made by Wavebend and Munchyfly and seemed good on everything except Vanquisher mag size, which is obviously not 2. |

... except Vanquisher mag size, which is obviously not 2. That would have balanced the Vanquisher relative to the other sniper rifles. You know I'm right. Lucky for us, somebody snuck in a nice buff and nobody on the post release team has any clue what the original weapon was suppose to be.  Thanks again for all the testing, y'all. More interest than the game itself at times. |

More interest than the game itself at times. I've been of the firm belief that the Vanquisher was S-tier by pure accident. Even after the headshot mod fuckup was fixed. |

You can 'splode as many as you have primed in your Singularity. Adding SW primer evolution (Lifting SW, which primes everyone hit by SW, even enemies you can't actually float with it, btw!!), means you can reprime as many as you detonate for follow up detonations by other players using Lance/double Throw, etc.. SW+Sing is dope as fuck given this and HuAdept in MP suddenly is fun. Example: 3 enemies in Singularity = 3 prime + SW = 3 detonations taken by each enemy (because of their close proximity and b/c you took the combo radious evo, right?) & all 3 are primed for another detonation each. Imagine that you have additional HuAdept with Lifting SW, then you to can throw down a total of 6 combo explosions on each enemy trapped in the Singularity in fractions of a second, some of which might hit weakpoints. Compound this further with by following up with Throw specc'ed for double Throw or Radius for AOE and get you 2 or 3 more combo detonations on each enemy all of which could be done within 1 second AND all detonated by Throw are re-primed as well!! Add in a 4 char with anoth power that det+prime and this is the rapid pace, infinite biotic explosion possibility, that makes even these ultra-nerfed combos, p fucking good. Rolling a team of HuAdept, ultra-specced for combos = easy mode on Gold? |
